The Book of Shadows Tarot - Volume 1 as Above

The Book of Shadows Tarot – Volume 1: As Above – Magical Wisdom from the Universe

About this deck

The Book of Shadows Tarot – Volume 1: As Above is the first part of a two-part tarot series that explores the spiritual world and earthly existence. This edition, "As Above", focuses on universal energies, witches' wisdom, and magical teachings. Instead of traditional tarot images, this deck depicts archetypes, divine powers and elements of nature magic. A deck that feels like a visual grimoire – full of intuitive insights and spiritual connection.

Background and imagery

The cards are richly illustrated with goddesses, nature spirits, moon phases, the elements, Sabbats and other concepts from contemporary witchcraft. The images partly follow the structure of the tarot, but supplement it with deep symbolic and thematic material. This creates a deck that not only functions as a tarot, but also as a spiritual study and reflection tool.

how the deck comes to life in readings

This deck is particularly suitable for ritual work, meditation, seasonal cycles and spiritual deepening. Due to the more abstract symbolism, it requires reading with feeling and deepening of the underlying themes. The included guidebook offers extensive explanations about the cards, their meaning in witchcraft and how you can work with them in everyday magic.

Is this deck welcoming to those just starting out?

For absolute beginners in tarot, the deck is slightly less accessible due to the alternative symbolism. This is an inspiring addition for people with a basic knowledge of tarot or an interest in witchcraft. It is especially suitable for spiritual seekers who feel connected to nature, the cycle of the year and esoteric pathways.
